Bohemia

Xie Xiunan jumped up and down, saying that he wanted to play a game of stepping on shadows.

Yan Huan's family lives in the old city, originally he didn't intend to bring Xie Xiunan back, but Xie Xiunan refused to stay in a hotel no matter what, Yan Huan had no choice but to take him... home.

The houses here are all built in the 90s, not too high, the tallest is only on the sixth floor, there is no community property, rows of gray houses are connected together, windows are next to windows, and the corridors are also very narrow.

If the only thing Yan Huan likes about this place is that the houses are all next to the road, and the street lights are one after another, dim and warm.

That's why Xie Xiunan said that he wanted to play the game of stepping on shadows.

Yan Huan said: "I remember someone said before, don't step on the shadow, there is another me in the shadow."

Xie Xiunan had never heard of it before, and said, "You made it up."

"Maybe." Yan Huan also had a bit of memory confusion.

Xie Xiunan walked around him and saw a row of closed small supermarkets on the side of the road, as well as a soup dumpling shop and a mutton seller.There are always bloodstains at the door where the mutton is sold, and there are marks on the ground that can't be cleaned up.

This place is different from other places, different from Qingdao, not to mention Beijing and Shanghai.This place is more like the reality covered up under the pile of beautiful dreams.It turns out that there are places like this in the world, Yan Huan is aware of this, but he doesn't know if Xie Xiunan can accept it.

"Look." Yan Huan touched his nose, "My house is really not fun, it's just a small place."

Xie Xiunan looked at him, hopped around on the spot again, and said, "You're lying, you're obviously very good."

Yan Huan ignored him, and Xie Xiunan shouted from behind: "Duo Duo, you fool! I like wherever you are. Without you, the White House wouldn't make any sense for me to be president!"

Yan Huan smiled and said, "Shut up, you!"

The corridor was very dark, Yan Huan walked in front and reminded: "Walk carefully, don't be so big and fall."

"As ordered." Xie Xiunan said.

After opening the door, Yan Huan said, "This is it, come in, don't take off your shoes."

He turned on the light, and Xie Xiunan saw that although the living room was small, it was generally quite cozy.Before Yan Huan's mother passed away, she lived here. Although she had a bad temper, she liked to be tidy, so the house was always clean.

"That's my mother's room." Yan Huan pointed to the room on the right, "The door is closed, inside...don't go in for now."

"Well, good." Xie Xiunan nodded.

"You can do whatever else you like. Are you hungry? I'll find you something to eat." Yan Huan smiled.

Xie Xiunan was very nervous before he came, and he relaxed after seeing Yan Huan. Now that he said this, he felt that he was about to starve to death.

Xie Xiunan said: "Well, what's there?"

Yan Huan rummaged through the box and said, "Instant noodles, let's make do."

"Instant noodles are good." Xie Xiunan said, "I wanted to eat them before."

"Then I'll cook for you."

In the small kitchen, Yan Huan found a cooking pot. He was afraid that Xie Xiunan wouldn't be able to eat one pack, so he downed three packs in one go.When the big pot was brought out, Xie Xiunan was shocked.

"I don't seem to be able to eat so much." Xie Xiunan said.

Yan Huan sat down opposite him and said, "It's okay, I'll help you eat."

It was already past midnight, and it was the second day. The two of them each took a bowl, and there was a pot of steaming instant noodles in the middle of the table. There was an indescribable warmth.After eating, Xie Xiunan went to take a bath first, and Yan Huan was worried, why should Xie Xiunan sleep?

The bed in his room was too small, and it was impossible for Xie Xiunan to sleep on the sofa.After thinking about it, Yan Huan decided to make a bigger floor.He sat cross-legged on the ground, and Xie Xiunan was stunned as soon as he came in.

Xie Xiunan smiled and said, "What's the matter? Don't you have a bed?"

Yan Huan said, "Then you sleep, and I sleep on the bed."

Xie Xiunan: "...The routine is wrong."

He took a shower, his body was fragrant, and before his hair was dry, he came over to hug Yan Huan.Yan Huan hid for a while but did not dodge. Being pressed down by Xie Xiunan, he felt that he had eaten too much before, so he hurriedly said, "Don't press my stomach, I'm going to vomit!"

Xie Xiunan: "..."

"Forget it, go to sleep." He sighed, sleeping next to Yan Huan, turning his body to look at Yan Huan.

Yan Huan faced him face to face, Xie Xiunan smiled and said, "What are you doing? Are you not sleepy?"

Yan Huan said, "I'm not sleepy at all."

Xie Xiunan said: "Sleep even if you are not sleepy, I am exhausted today."

He held Yan Huan's hand, closed his eyes, and said slowly, "I'll clean you up tomorrow..."

Yan Huan didn't speak, and couldn't help but smiled silently. After a while, Xie Xiunan fell asleep a little bit, and began to snore softly.In fact, he has stopped snoring during this period of time, but occasionally when he is too tired, the old problem will still recur.

The next day, Yan Huan went to the vegetable market to buy a la carte, made fried eggs for breakfast, and made a very hearty sandwich.

He came out and saw that Xie Xiunan was sitting there in a daze, with his head on his head, yawning, and said, "Where have you been?"

"Buying vegetables." Yan Huan said.

"Oh." Xie Xiunan said, "Shopping for vegetables. Wait...do you know how to cook?"

"Yes." Yan Huan smiled, "Let me show you."

Yan Huan often cooked when he was a child. If he didn't cook, he might have to go hungry.He remembered that there was a grandmother at the opposite door, who raised a little black dog at home, and sometimes the grandmother would make him some pastries, but if Yan Huan's mother saw it, she would scold him again.Grandma died when Yan Huan was in the third grade of elementary school. After that, Yan Huan gradually learned not to starve to death.

Too bad he never cooked for another person.

Xie Xiunan was urged to wash up, then obediently sat on the sofa and waited for Yan Huan to feed him.Yan Huan's T-shirt was thrown into the washing machine, so he had to wear Yan Huan's old clothes. The clothes were in the aesthetic style of many years ago. There was a monkey with a big mouth in the middle, which looked silly.

Yan Huan cooked a table of home-cooked dishes, and Xie Xiunan gave him some face, so he ate them cleanly, and in the end he almost starved to death.

"You... As for it?" Yan Huan was convinced.

Xie Xiunan leaned against the back of the chair and said, "No, I really can't do it anymore. Wow, Duo Duo, your cooking is too delicious."

"It's okay." Yan Huan was very humble.

Xie Xiunan said: "No, no, it's true, except for my grandfather, I will obey you."

Yan Huan asked with a smile, "What about your mother? Isn't cooking delicious?"

Xie Xiunan broke down and shouted: "Don't mention it! She can cook Western food! Throw all the mess into the pot, then stew and it's over."

Yan Huan patted his fearful hand and said, "Get up and move around, don't sit still."

"En." Xie Xiunan nodded.

In the afternoon, Yan Huan found an old movie and watched it with Xie Xiunan.He suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what kind of film were you editing before? Did you post it? Show me."

Xie Xiunan hugged him, stunned for a moment, and said, "I forgot about it."

He cleared his throat, with a strange expression on his face, and said, "Forget it, don't watch it, it's a bit silly."

Yan Huan's intuition told him that things were not that simple, so he pinched his face and said, "What the hell is it! Show me!"

"I'm not... ready yet." Xie Xiunan said.

Yan Huan became more curious and said, "No! I must watch it today!"

"Okay." Xie Xiunan struggled for a while and said, "Then let me do some preparations first."

Yan Huan: "???"

He wanted to see what kind of mess Xie Xiunan could come up with.

Xie Xiunan ran out and found his bag. There were a few scented candles in it. He lit the candles and placed them on the small coffee table in front of the two of them, and finally turned off the lights.

Yan Huan was confused for a while, a little uncertain in his heart, and said, "You..."

Xie Xiunan put the phone on the table, and the 3-minute video started playing.

In the first scene, Xie Xiunan was facing the camera, he brushed his hair a little nervously, and then said with a smile, "Yan Huan."

"I know it might be a little early, and it might scare you a little bit, but I never thought that love has anything to do with time." Xie Xiunan in the video lowered his eyes and said without haste.

"I missed a lot, and I don't want to miss your future, so..."

He laughed, eyes full of tenderness, and said, "Come home with me! Seattle is so much fun!"

The screen turned and turned into another girl Yan Huan didn't know, holding a cardboard in her hand, on which was written: "We love you! Duo Duo!"

"Yan Huan, promise Xie Xiunan!"

"I hope you are happy every day."

"Duo Duo, you look so pretty when you smile! I hope you will always be happy!"

……

People kept showing up, but Yan Huan didn't know them all, and he didn't know how Xie Xiunan collected the blessings from these netizens.He cut it all together.Yan Huan looked at it, and suddenly his nose became sore.

Finally, Xie Xiunan came back again.

He held up a small sign in his hand, looked at him with a smile, and it said: "Marryme."

The camera went black, and everything returned to calm.

Xie Xiu Nanchao was so embarrassed that he almost cried in embarrassment, and stammered, "I...I...that, I'm so ashamed... I don't know if it was a brain twitch in those few days, but! But in the end it was the truth, just I should have said it to your face."

"Then you can talk now." Yan Huan said.

"Ah?!" Xie Xiunan was startled.

Yan Huan didn't know what expression he had now, but his eyes were probably a little red, and he said, "Say it now."

Xie Xiunan looked at him for a while, then hugged him in the end, and whispered, "Can you marry me?"

"Hmm." Yan Huan said.

Xie Xiunan laughed wildly: "Wow! Damn! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Yan Huan: "..."

Before he had time to be moved for a while, he was going to be stupid to death by Xie Xiunan.
